A FRAUDULENT CHECK.
Raised from So to S2,4 ,45O.
DETECTED By PAYING TELLER GIBSON AT THE TREAS
uRY DEPARTMENT AFTER GOING THROUGH SEVERAL
BANKS.

The practical experience and alert vigilance OF
Mr.. W. II. Gibson, paying teller in the cash-room
OF the Treasury, has just prevented the c0nsum-
nation OF fraud and saved Treasurer Hyatt the
painful necessity Of making good deficit in his
cash. A pension check for So $50 which had passed
through several banks, was presented at the
Treasury for payment by local bank. Mr.. Glib
son, the teller, thought he detected something
suspicious in the appearance OF the check and he
at once reported his suspicious to Treasurer Hyatt
As the check purported to be signed by Mr. Will
son, the pension agent at Washington, he was i'm
mediately communicated with. He denied having
ever given check Of the denomination, date,
and description OF that presented for pay
more careful scrutiny of the check disclosed the
TACT that 1t was originally drawn for 81 Qwo dol
lars BY the sktllfu employment of acids the name
or the payee had been changed and the amount
raised to s.. 4oO. The date was also changed from
May, 1885, to May, 1887 ALI Of these alterations had
ssy Geen very neatly made; In fact, the work was SO
Sklllfully done that the altered check had passed
through several banks without detection.
WISDOM OF RETAINING EXPERIENCED EMPLOYEES.
MI. Gibson Is an old employe, and has acquired
his experience in the cash-rOOm. His ready de-
lection OF the fraud was pointed out as illustrat-
Ing the wisdom OF retaining old employees that
have become expert in their business.
A prominent official OF the Treasury said to a
STAR reporter: "Now some of us-i mean we
democratic DEL chiefs-have been severely arraIgned
Tor not making clean sweeps. Suppose Mr.. Hyatt
had done so, and had put new men in the CASH
room? 1t stands to reason that with new men
this fraud would not have been discovered. Mr..
hyatt would not only have been reprOached for
negligence, but would have lost the amount OF the
raised check. We cannot in justice to ourselves
ana the public service, make these clean sweeps,
we do not"
Ihe original check was issued here in Washing
ton Two years ago to pay an examining surgeons
fee. Every effort will be made to discover the par
Ties who altered the check, but as. the number,
date, and name OF payee were erased with acids,
II will be q difficult Job
